  This post covers the make and break switch relays covered in the range of auto electrical products at Arc Components Limited. The relays supplied in-store are configured to DIN 72552 terminal standardisation.

  The standardisation definition guide is presented for identification of pin-out configurations on automotive electrical components available at Arc-Components.com. DIN 72552 is used by most high-end component and vehicle manufacturers when creating an automotive circuit.

Coils are wound with pull-in and drop-out voltages. Variations from these pull-in and drop-out figures can be engineered to suit particular applications. This blog post can be used in conjunction with Product Files to identify a solenoid contactor best suited for your application.
